dmesg Support

Printing informations during startup is very useful, but due to slow serial
printouts it adds to the startup time of barebox. This series adds logbuffer
support and a 'dmesg' command, so it becomes possible to reduce the loglevel
while the messages are still available later. As a bonus the timestamp for
each message is recorded so that together with CONFIG_DEBUG_INITCALLS detailed
timing information of the startup process can be collected.
The dmesg support nearly compiles away when it's disabled.
